Dude go and get a girlfriend or wife for that, or go to a strip club or escort agency if you want to be "distressed" by the sight of beautiful women. An office is different from that.

Nigerians are too focused on sex and don't know the difference from being professional and your stupid sexual fantasies.

In foreign countries, go and check the statistics, hospitality industry and customer facing positions like receptionist and all are virtually equal in the female-male divide, its almost a 50-50 thing, but over here its like 95%-5% in favour of women.

That's because:

Nigeria women are mostly underachievers, they want less stressful jobs, most of their goal in life is marriage and having high career dreams is out of it.

Most Nigerian bosses are as stupid as most other Nigerian men who feel they need to be seeing a fine face every now and then to cool their nerves down, and others keep such ladies for sex. Most if such receptionist ladies are ladies whom came about when they asked the boss for a job and the idoit slept with her first and then offered her the job.

Lastly we don't appreciate professionalism over here, and that's why you see people commenting ignorantly giving reasons like fine face, fine voice in support to why women are better for receptionist.

If I'm going to get information from a company what the heck does that have to do with the sex of the person giving me that information? All I need is competence, tactfulness and resourcefulness from such a person and nothing to do with the person is giving me such information with a sugary voice and fine face.

We really need to upgrade our mindset in this country.

Samson calm down oooo
dont get urself confused

the first question you are arguing on
Choose the correct option.

The government which.........recruiting..........workers suddenly stopped doing so.
(A) are/its
(B) was/its
(C) is/their
(D) were/their.

in this context a plural verb cannot be used with government ooo
although government comprise of a lot of people but the name government has put all of them in a singular entity so government will be treated as a singular
therefore
option B is correct
the government which is recruiting its workers suddenly stopped doing so
another example
1. The presidency has issue a statement on the abduction of school girls in Yobe. presidency in this example does not mean the president alone but himself, his cabinet, his advisers, and every one that works in president office has been put together in singular entity. you will notice that a singular supporting verb (has) is used.

2. Bacelona Fc has lost out in the UEFA champions league. bacelona fc comprise of over 11 players, managers, fans, etc. but they have become a singular entity so a singular verb will be used.


Now
the example you cited in your argument, u also got it wrong

One of the girls who ____ impregnated ____ died
a. was / have
b. were / have
c. was / has
d. were / has

the question is very daisy one to answer
rule: any question that has who which whose to get the subject u will look for the closest noun to the adjective who, which, or whose.

in this case, (girls) is the closest subject/noun to (who). so we go with (were) plural past and the second clause the subject is (one of) so we go with (has) singular

One of the girls who were impregnated has died correct
meaning
a couple of girls were impregnated and one of them has died

Samsonyte:
Option D is the correct answer.
Anytime you see which, who whose, that in the question, noun or pronoun that comes before it and that noun or pronoun must become the subject. In the example above, which refers to 'The government' which is now our subject and it attracts were not was because the subject is not a singular noun but plural noun, because they are Block Plural groups, they do not carry s at the back. example The poor, The handicapped. so The Main Subject in the first clause 'The Government will determine the verb singular or plural, and as u already know dat The government is a plural noun, the answer will be their not its.
Another example
One of the girls who ____ impregnated ____ died
a. was / have
b. were / have
c. was / has
d. were / has

Option C
The first clause, singular or plural before who is 'girls' so girls is a plural noun which attract were past tense of was 'impregnated'.
The main subject 'One of' indicate singular noun, will determine the verb in the second clause singular or plural.
